The New Arabs: How the Millennial Generation is Changing the Middle East
The Arab Spring was driven by young people demanding jobs and protesting the regimes in power. While the leaders fell in four of the five countries, the aftermath of the Arab Spring has been characterized by civil war, sectarian violence, political turmoil and, in some cases, the return of a strong state to restore peace and stability. Economic growth has slowed and unemployment has increased. What can be done now to meet the aspirations of the young men and women who marched in the streets in 2010-11 demanding “bread, freedom and dignity?”
Join us live on November 19, 2014 with professor Juan Cole for a panel discussion chaired by World Bank Vice President for MENA Inger Anderson, on his new book : “The New Arabs: How the Millennial Generation is Changing the Middle East”
